Life of Bjoernar

Hey you all!

How are you doing? The sun is shining incredibly much today as well, so the vacation couldn’t start better. I’m a little concern about the temperature outside today if I’m going outside. Last night was cold; really cold. I was freezing at the living room and in my bedroom in the basement, so it wasn’t comfy. I don’t think the temperature has gone up, but I don’t know if I wanna go outside if it’s that cold. Oh... it’s -18ºC (-0.39ºF). That’s too cold to be outside. It’s in the middle of the morning, and it’s that cold. I’m not going outside. I don’t wrap myself into much clothing when I’m going outside, so there is no way that I’m going outside. Too bad, actually. The weather is so beautiful.

My brother (and maybe his girlfriend... hopefully) is coming to town I hope the upcoming week. I just hope they’re coming. I don’t what it is about having my brother and his girlfriend at my moms house. It’s so great. We watched Wall-E at my bedroom once, and I miss it. I don’t know what it is, but I’m looking forward to see them every time it’s considered. If they’re coming tomorrow, we’re probably going to bowl at Sweden with my mom. That’s fun. I don’t see them both so much, therefore it’s very nice to spend some time together.

Guys; DON’T EAT FROZEN DONUTS! When you’ve bought something you need to save for later, you put it in a freezer. That’s cool, you know, you need some food for later. But for the love of God, don’t freeze donuts. The donuts are tasteless when you decide to «unfreeze» it (there you go: that’s how good my English is). There might be a little bit of taste in it, but it’s nothing compared to when you bought it. So eat it or leave it - don’t freeze it. That’s a disaster move.

I was just thinking about the moving to USA, and I kinda wonder where I wanna move. I’ve been thinking about New York, Los Angeles and Phoenix. I’m not sure. I know I can afford it, but I just don’t know where I wanna live. I’m trying to make a «pros and cons» list, but it’s still hard to decide. New York might be a good place to search for jobs, and Los Angeles is hot and glamourous. I gotta choose between lifestyles, and that isn’t the easiest thing to do.

 
You wanna see something cool?  This clip is just hilarious! :D

Anyway, that’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed yourself... don’t take that the wrong way. :D
 

Hey!

Sorry for not blogging yesterday, but I were too busy with my valentine... not! If I had to write something, you probably wouldn’t cared for anything else than the valentines day. That’s why I didn’t write anything. Seriously, how should a single guy like me tell everyone how great a valentines day is? For me it’s like any other day; I eat, work and sleep. No one gives me flowers, I don’t give other people flowers. The attention is the same. What’s the difference between valentines day and a regular day for a single?

Well, the biggest difference must be for them who desperately needs a girl/boyfriend. I’m talking about those who’s watching Titanic alone, crying in front of a computer while being on a dating site on valentines day. Luckily, I’m not one of them. I’m just a regular guy who don’t give any more attention on the valentines day than I usually get. No one I met yesterday talked about the valentines day. No one. Some of them even have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. I didn’t hear a single word about it, unless I brought it up. I didn’t, though.

OMG it’s so freaking cold. I’m inside, yet, it’s incredibly cold. I don’t like Norway. It’s too cold. USA is the perfect temperature. Ah, I want to go to the USA and stay there. I actually made some research this weekend. Moving permanently doesn’t cost more than 120 000 NOK ($20474.72). A car in Norway costs more. That’s for the first year. The next year you don’t need to pay more than 72 000 a year ($12284.83). That’s if a rent of an apartment is around $1000 per month, which it is in Los Angeles. That’s amazing.

This is what I’m talking about - LP.

No, that’s enough about yesterday. Let’s talk about today. I’ve lost my phone, which means I didn’t have an alarm from my phone to wake my up. Therefore I attached an old disc machine...thing... to a «clock device». When the clock turned around 5 AM, the disc machine tuned on and played Y.M.C.A. LOL. That’s one way to wake up in the morning. I’m gonna make a tutorial some day about that thing so you understand. The point is: it’s genius! So I woke up at 0515 AM, showered, ate, drank coffee and went to do some work.

I’m having a film-project with a couple of people, so it’s intense work to get it done by Friday (when the premiere is). We’re making this silly mob film about a woman cleaning up some work after her father passed. Therefore the mob boss, this woman, needs to find a guy who owes them money from drugs. He got several chances, but he hasn’t payed of his debts. His finger was cut off previously because he didn’t pay, so they were going to cut another finger before he says where he has a lot of money. Then the mob crew follows him to his office, while «getting» the money. «Getting» means for the victim, than he’s waiting for another mob crew, this time a crew he’s made a deal with. The crew gets drugs and he gets protecting. That’s why they’re going to rescue him. This turns into a shootout, but I can’t say how it ends. If it’s gonna be uploaded on my blog, I can’t tell you how it’s ending. You know my friend Daniel? He’s the victim in the movie. I’m really looking forward to the results, but we have to work hard to get it done. So most of the days before my vacation starts goes away into that project.

Nah, this is it for today. :-)
 

Hey!

This day didn’t last long. I’ve been helping and cleaning the entire day. I know you’re not suppose to clean up on a Sunday, but I did anyway. But that’s not everything I did today - I tried to video blog. This is the first time I made a long video blog. Even though it didn’t succeed, it’s a step closer to great vlogging material. There is still things that needs to be improved like the accent and camera position. I wasn’t that happy about the accent on the clip I recorded. When I talked in normal speed, my accent turned into a Norwegian-English accent. When I talked slower, my accent became americanized. That’s apparently something I gotta improve. When I was vlogging, the camera taped me like my hands were straight down. I need to have the camera right in front of me. That’s something I gotta practice. I’m not happy about my appearence either, so that’s something I wanna work on. So as you can see, there is a lot of things that needs to be put together before being able to upload a video blog on the internet (YouTube).

Without practice, you fail!

That’s where I believe most of the failures comes. People don’t realize the mistakes they’re making. I’m pretty careful about how the footage is, so it’s maybe just me being a bit paranoid. Still, the point is that people need to make sure everything’s alright before doing something that fails. For instance, if a band wanna become famous after playing together for a week. It’s gonna fail, believe me. What the band probably in this case are missing is talent. Without talent, they’re without consideration. No one’s gonna sit down and wait till this band gets great. Another thing is that they don’t see the fact that they need to improve their skills as a band, before trying to get famous. This is common for everyone who wants to share some skills with others. No one’s gonna find a video blog interesting if it’s five minutes of: «Uhm»,  «so», «well», «you know» +++. You need to provide what you wanna say in a way that’s interesting and understandable. That’s why I need more practice. The information I’m gonna share with you, needs to be clear. If not, then I’m not gonna upload anything. When a new talent is gonna be shared, you should at least try to compare yourself with someone else. If you’re far from the one you’re comparing yourself to - forget it. Don’t even bother. You see where I’m going?

I’m looking at the map of the United States of America. I’m falling completely in love with it. The names of all the states... OMG. I don’t care where I’m at when I’m in America. If I get my feet on US soil, I’ll be incredible happy. I just wanna move there now! I’m already saving some cash for my first trip to USA. Give me tips: where should I go? New York? Los Angeles? Phoenix? Las Vegas?! Tell me. I know you’re quiet, but come on! I’ve been to Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. Is there some other places I should go? TELL ME!!!

Two cups of coffee - still tired. What’s going on?! :O

I’m out of here, catch you later!
 

Hey you!

The day to day has literally been relaxing. I’ve done nothing but relaxing completely. I’ve been playing online games, playing guitar and chilling out. I haven’t cared about anything else than myself (and the dogs) today.

I watched the Eurovision Song Contest of Norway, and my favorite song won! Hurray! Stella Mwangi is the greatest. It’s great to see that an «african» song win the Eurovision Song Contest of Norway. I’m so sick of the Norwegian songs which is suppose to be so «Eurovision Song Contest style». We need variation in our contest, instead of having some boring things with same notes, same lyrics +++. Go Stella Mwangi! She deserves to go to the final in Dusseldorf, Germany. I usually don’t like what Norway is qualified with, except «Fairytale» by Aleksander Rybak. Finally there is someone I like that going through to the final.

So what else is up today? I don’t know. You never give comments, so I’m just guessing that everything’s alright. By the way, Egypt, congratulations with the abdication of Mubarak. As I see it, that’s what you want and need. Therefore I’m glad to say that he’s finally getting off his president chair. I clearly have no clue of what went on in Egypt, but I know you wanted him off the chair. So congratulations!

Speaking of chairs; this chair was awesome! OMG. It’s extremely comfy. Where does this come from? I gotta make sure I buy some new furniture for my new apartment. I don’t wanna sit on some crappy wooden chair collapsing without warning. No, I need a chair JUST like this. :-)

Shopping. Yeah, that’s a sacred word. The best place to shop in Norway might just be in the greatest cities; Oslo and Trondheim. I’m going to Oslo to get myself some stuff real soon I guess. I don’t wanna buy stuff in some crappy stores next door. I don’t like the stores at the small villages nearby. The range of goods isn’t to believe in these small villages. It’s so poor. No, Oslo is the best. Viva La Oslo!

I’m telling you this for real: I got my own playlist of music when I’m going to Oslo. There is some songs that should get «Oslo» as a genre. I just wanna call the music «Oslo». It’s so nice! I honestly wanna move to Oslo. I know, I know. I want to move to the USA as well, but listen up! First I’m moving to Oslo, then I’m living a year in USA, then I’m moving back to Oslo. If I like the USA more, I move back. If not, I stay in Oslo. Lol. I’m smart, right? :D

But I’ll see you later. I gotta chat with the greatest girl on the planet at the moment. Congratulations Stella Mwangi, Egypt and Viva La Oslo! :D

Hey you guys!

Ah, finally it’s weekend. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend a lot. I just don’t say it, because you all do. Don’t tell me you don’t. Don’t even dare! Anyway, I’m at my moms and grandma, «step-father» and my brother is here. Hurray! I’m just gonna enjoy this great weekend before the presentation starts on Monday. But who cares about Monday, when it’s Friday night?! Let’s chill out!

I’m thinking about that video blog name. I’m considering «Nerd Preferred» or «Raids with Shades». I just don’t know which one, or if these names are good enough. I thought it might be good to say in the intro: «Hi. I’m Bjoernar, and this is Nerd Preferred!» You get me? I want something catchy, otherwise, no one will remember the name. If it’s gonna be «Raids with Shades», it would be like: «Hi. I’m Bjoernar. You and I Raids with Shades!» Ok, that’s kinda lame. Raids the Internet with Shades? W00T? Lol, I just made a horrible idea obviously. Maybe I should try making the logos first, then choice what name to choose. Damn, I’m smart. Lol.

I’m trying to check what kinds of premiers coming up this week, because I can’t make the premier today. There is a norwegian film having a premier today, but I can’t make it. Therefore, I need to find out if there’s going to be any other premiers this months. Otherwise, I’ll be sad. I haven’t been to a single premier this year. I don’t like it. This should have a Facebook dislike button. By the way, where is the dislike button on Facebook? Everybody wants it. What’s so hard about putting a dislike button beside the like button? Facebook would be revolutionary with a dislike button. Just make the Facebookers happy, once. We want the dislike button. Give us the dislike button, Mr. Zuckerberg!

I’ve been thinking a lot about moving to the USA. It seems like the interest of moving there just increase every day. I don’t like walking around talking Norwegian. Lol. That’s not the main reason why I wanna move to America, though. I just mention it. I literally have a better vocabulary in English than Norwegian. W00T? It’s true. I know more English words than Norwegian words. If there is a word in Norwegian I don’t know what is, I say it in English. The world’s messed up, man. :-D

Haha, Firefox owns IE for real.

I’ll probably blame the internet. Lol. Before the internet came, Norwegians probably were... Norwegians. Afterwards, the Norwegian language has turned into an English-Norwegian language. I honestly use a lot of English words when I know I can say them in Norwegian. Let’s blame the internet for being genius. Thank you!

Well, I gotta eat a lovely dinner with my family - ketchup with you... get it? :-D

Hey you!

Today I had to do some assignments that has to be done by tomorrow, so I’m kinda stressed a little. I sat down for a moment and thought about how much I actually care about my future. I’m working my ... off just to have a good carrier. It’s like nothing else than my future matters, but that’s not entirely true. A carrier isn’t the place you seek happiness, but it’s a part of your happiness. I feel that I have to get a good carrier to have a good life, but that doesn’t make sense. Love to friends and family is where happiness comes from. Doing what you want is where happiness comes from.

The carrier should only be a part of surviving, but in my case it’s more than that. I know I can be happy without having a great carrier, but my brain obviously doesn’t. I’m not gonna stop getting a good carrier, but the fear of not becoming happy if I don’t have a good carrier is there. That’s why I’m working as much as I do. I can’t remember the last time I played my XBOX for instance.

I’m not complaining, but I’m sharing information you need. Your carrier isn’t everything, but it is a part of it. My biggest ambitions is to move to the United States of America. I don’t need the best carrier in the world to be able to move there. My point is: your happiness doesn’t come from your carrier, but do your best to get a good one. After saying all of this, I won’t change the way of working. I’m gonna succeed, but if I don’t do it well, I’m not gonna let that ruin my happiness. You get it? It’s the «after-effect» I don’t want to fear. That’s the main point.

Seriously, I checked flight ticket costs yesterday to Phoenix, Arizona. I checked the costs of hotels and I was about to search for apartments until I understood that it’s crazy to start searching now. I’m not sure if I wanna stay in Phoenix, but I searched it anyway. I’ve been to Phoenix, Arizona and it’s damn hot. Anyway, I’m kinda excited about the wish of moving to USA. What I’m probably will do is to move there for a year, go back to Norway for a year and if I miss the USA (which I probably will), I’ll move back. I don’t wanna move immediately if it seems like I ain’t gonna like it.

Argh, I can’t stop thinking about the video blogging. I gotta start soon. Why haven’t I started yet? I wanna vlog, now! I gotta find a name for the vlog if I’m gonna start. I can’t call it «Bjoernars vlog», I’m not satisfied with that. No one has participated to the contest of finding a name. Well, no one wants to win. If you have an idea, comment on «Win a Secret». I think I posted it in January. I was thinking about calling it Brilliant! , but there was some sort of an art group with that name before. I don’t know if it’s legal to use that kind of name if someone else has had it. Give me suggestions!!!

Well, that’ it for today. Stay tuned for more, and I’ll catch up with you.
 

Hey you!

Today has been a quite good start of the week, despite all the task that has to be done. There’s a lot of things that has to be done by the end of this week, and I can feel the stress and the doubt of getting everything ready and perfect at time. That’s just an average feeling of a week. Nothing different than any other week.

I’m gonna be at the World Championship for dogsledding by the way. I have to. Obviously I don’t have a choice. If I see an American film crew, I’m gonna ask for an autograph... randomly. I just want a piece of America. I got some newspapers my cousin in USA used to wrap the Christmas present in. Yeah, I’m a weirdo. It’s just that I want to move to the United States really badly. I think the USA is the best country ever existing.

Today or tomorrow I’m gonna fill in an application I’ll use for moving away from here. If they accept the application, I’m able to move away from where I live. Ah, it’s gonna be great. I can’t take this place anymore. I really hope I got what it takes to be able to move.

I’m sorry for the short blog, but I got some tasks I have to do. I didn’t actually have time to write, but I kinda did anyway. I’m gonna write early tomorrow so you can get a better blog tomorrow (the first day of February). I’m gonna beat my stats in February even though it’s a couple of days missing in February. Well, tomorrow I’m perhaps going to a class of writing, so if I’m going, I will be sharing some experiences with you guys.

Anyway, I’ll see you around!

Hi guys!

The week just started again, and I gotta say that staying up all night in the weekend isn't that smart. I had really big issues of sleeping the night to Monday. I also watched American football very late at night, so that might explain why I felt a little tired today. Unfortunately, Arizona Cardinals lost against the St. Louis Rams. Well, it happens. I will love Arizona Cardinals anyway. Who wants to give up a team they believe in? Maybe you don't like Arizona Cardinals, but I'm not even American and Arizona is the only team I've admire. So don't judge me if this is completely wrong.

Why do I love American football? Why doesn't I like soccer more than American football? After all, soccer is way more popular in Norway. The answer I guess is that I don't feel the same enthusiasm and entertainment like I do when watching American football. People I know always talks about how great their favorite soccer team played last night, and the discussion about last nights game never ends. I've been listening to people yapping about a soccer team for an hour. That's how I lost the interest in soccer; the enthusiasm is there. You can't have an interest without the enthusiasm! I bet you can't survive one single day learning aerobics without having the enthusiasm to do so. Why am I using aerobics as an example? I'm not saying that there is something wrong with aerobics, but I have no clue why I chose aerobics for an example. The point is that every certain interests and hobbies need enthusiasm.

Hey, guess what! I ordered the vest, I'm gonna use for the prom, today. Hurray! I really think that it looks kinda nice. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is what I'm talking about. Although, there is a catch. There's always a catch. I need the vest by December 17th, and I'm ordering it from the U.K. So that means that I have to get the vest from the U.K and it has to be in Norway, before December 17th so I can try it on. Such a stress, and such a risk to take. Why I'm saying this must be that I am excited about the prom this year. Some guys I know are putting the entire package together, and they promised that it would rock. Literary, because I'm gonna play at the prom with my band (hopefully). It would just be incredibly awesome if my band wanted to play at the prom.

I gotta go, but thank you for staying tuned with todays blog.

I'll see you later!

Hi guys!

Ah, finally it's weekend! This has been a long and horrible week. But now it's time to relax. If there are anyone at all reading this blog, just tell me; what do you like to do on the weekends? For me it's just chill 1000%. What? a zero to much? No way :'D. When I chill, I really do chill a lot :').

Anyway, I've been wondering about moving to the US. If anyone does read this blog, and are from the USA; how is it to live there? Is it difficult to make a living? Also, is it any negative or positive things about moving to USA? Would love answers :')

Oh, I want a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer :') I wonder if I would look good with one of those. To bad that it is 160 km (almost 100 miles) to the closest store that got one of those.

Well, I need to get going to my dad's house, so I'll see you later :'D
